ambiguous lives, lived by the living
in twin states of being awake or dreaming
overwhelming yet secretive
intrigues us souls to discover the relevance
the genuineness or the forgery
of both the worlds we spend our breaths in
are we real with these eyelids shut
or the color with our eyes open, is faithful
a mystery to remain so, never to be revealed
oh dreams and the other state of us
‘are we real with these eyelids shut’ – that is a very powerful line, Zigyasa. I would love to know what inspired you to say that. 🙂

i truly wonder about dreams.. why we have them and its fascinating to me to know if the life with dreams is real or the one we live otherwise is so… and hence are we real with these eyelids shut?

Butterfly dreaming he was a man dreaming he was a butterfly – yes I think I understand. I really think you’d get on very well with science fiction you know! 🙂
When I haven’t had enough sleep I do these little micro naps with micro dreams. I wonder if these are really micro awakenings. If so – I am trying to wake up into a massive variety of realms. All of them are different as … something that is very different. 🙂

You know what, a dream within a dream.. yes you remind of Inception.. one of my favorite movies… It is such a powerful and intense movie…

I’m a big, big fan of Inception too. That’s a great sci-fi movie. I also like Groundhog Day, which is kind of similar but in a different way, and also, that Tom Cruise movie – Oblivion – that was a brilliant movie too.

I think I’ve seen Gravity three times – excellent movie. I remember seeing Contact, but I can’t remember how it ends? Maybe I should watch it over.

Jody Foster… excellent movie… actually, I am are very selective about what movies my children watch, so I push them to see such movies which made great sense to me. I watch the movies again with my kids.. and it is great.. my elder daughter is 10 and she seems to take a lot of interest in sci-fi movies.. and other movies that I show her.. here in India, entertainment standard is not very high.. so I try to keep them away from foolish entertainment shows and movies…

You’re not a fan of Indian Soap opera then? I find them a little too melodramatic for my taste. I do enjoy some of the movies by Shah Rukh Khan though. 🙂 Your daughter would probably like Avatar?

If every world
Lay along its parallel
Would we see the others?
Is dreaming the doorway to another land
A land we may never know
To fantastic to remember or understand
When you have the rules of reality
Pushed upon every waking moment
Maybe only in dreams
We are ever truly free.
